Chapter 158 The Dust Settled
Fang Zhen's trial lasted all morning.
At nearly twelve o'clock, the judge finally gave the final verdict——
Due to the long lapse of time, many evidences have been destroyed, and there are only a few photos as a basis. It is impossible to determine whether Fang Zhen pushed Duan Yan into the water intentionally or by mistake, so it cannot be classified as intentional homicide. But even if it was a mistake,
After he pushed the person into the river, he refused to save him, causing Duan Yan to drown alive. He even deliberately concealed the incident afterwards, which all constituted a major crime.
In addition, regarding Fang Lin's car accident, Fang Zhen colluded with the Liu family to conceal the true cause of his death.
Several crimes were punished at the same time, and Fang Zhen was finally sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence.
In this regard, Fang Zhen stated that he would not appeal again.
This case has thus been settled.
After coming out of the court, Fang Ti stood at the top of the stairs, looking up at the sky.
The falling snow fell from the sky. She stretched out her hand to catch some, looking down at the snowflakes in her palm, her eyes slowly turned red.
Mom, your murderer has been punished by law, and you can finally rest in peace.
Suddenly, a pair of big palms stretched out, held her little hand, gently patted the snowflakes on it, then took off his gloves and carefully put them on her hands.
The gloves still carry his warmth, so they are very warm.
"It's so cold, don't play in the snow, and obey me." Yan Zhihuai's voice was soft, like coaxing a child.
Fang Ti raised her head, met the man's concerned eyes, and couldn't help but curl her lips, "Okay."
He rubbed the top of her head and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
"Well, I'm actually quite happy that I can finally let this matter go."
After saying that, she caught a glimpse of Fang Xing coming out of the corner of her eye.
Fang Xing wore a long black down jacket with a mask on his face, covering himself tightly.
Even so, Fang Ti could still see that she had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked much bigger than before.
Sensing Fang Ti's gaze, Fang Xing glanced over at her, nodded to her, and left in the other direction without even stopping.
Fang Ti looked at her leaving figure and vaguely felt that this might be the last time she saw Fang Xing.
The fate of the two of them has been intertwined since twenty years ago. There have been ups and downs due to a combination of circumstances. In the past year, there have been constant grievances. They have been beaten and scolded, hated and complained, and now they are like this on the road.
I was able to nod my head when I met him, which was unexpected.
Hearing her grandfather's voice coming from the door of the court, Fang Ti withdrew her gaze, turned her head, and watched Duan Muyan supporting Duan Ting and walking towards her.
"Grandpa." Fang Ti took a few steps forward to greet him.
Duan Ting looked at her kindly, "Titi, grandpa is going back to Haicheng. Remember your promise before, you will take the babies to Haicheng to see grandpa."
Fang Ti nodded and solemnly said, "Okay, I will remember it."
Duan Muyan interrupted, "Cousin, my cousin is waiting for you in Haicheng. I will miss you very much!"
Fang Ti curled her lips and said, "Okay."
"Then you should take good care of your baby in Jingdu during this period." Duan Ting paused, then suddenly turned to Yan Zhihuai and warned angrily, "You brat, take good care of Titi! She is my baby.
, if anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"
Regarding this, Yan Zhihuai's eyes did not change, "Titi is my wife, I will take good care of her without you reminding her."
"you--"
Fang Ti saw that Duan Ting was about to be angered by Yan Zhihuai's attitude and her blood pressure soared. She hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what time is your flight? Is it too late to go to the airport now?"
"The flight at 1:30 is in time, but it may be a bit late."
Duan Ting patted Fang Ti on the shoulder, "Well, Titi, grandpa is gone."
Fang Ti nodded, "We can contact you via video later."
"Okay, okay, grandpa will call you when he gets here." Duan Ting was cheerful, but when he caught a glimpse of Yan Zhihuai, who was standing aside, he snorted heavily at him to express his inner dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that my granddaughter really liked this brat, he would have wanted to be used as a stick to break up the mandarin ducks!
After Duan Ting and Duan Muyan got into the car and left, Yan Zhihuai reached out to Fang Ti and said, "Titi, let's go home too."
Fang Ti glanced at the man's broad palm, curled her lips, and placed her hand in his palm.
He closed his palms and held her hand tightly.
…
After sitting on his seat on the plane, Duan Ting took out a photo from his arms.
Staring at the girl with a sweet smile in the photo, he burst into tears, "Yanyan, your murderer has been punished. Dad has finally waited for this day. Dad failed to protect you before and let you leave at a young age.
In this world, your murderer has still not been found, making you feel uneasy even leaving. Dad thought he would leave with regrets until he died... Fortunately, fortunately, God saw that I was pitiful and was not willing to let him go.
I will never die in peace."
Tears blurred his vision, Duan Ting took off his glasses and wiped the tears with his hand.
Just as he was about to put his glasses back on, Duan Muyan suddenly ran over with a solemn look on his face.
He is usually a cheerful person, but he rarely shows this expression.
Now, obviously something bad has happened.
Duan Ting put on his glasses and took a long breath, "Tell me, what happened?"
Duan Muyan hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "Grandpa, my mother said that something happened to my second aunt again..."
Duan Ting's expression changed.
…
Fang Xing walked on the crowded street, his eyes blank.
Fang Zhen was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, and it is not certain whether he will be released one day.
Rong Yun committed intentional murder with subjective consciousness. When the time comes, the sentence will be more severe than that of Fang Zhen. Whether he can survive is still unknown.
Fang Xing paused and stared blankly ahead.
The life of the eldest daughter of the Fang family for half a year was like a dream, too unreal to be true.
Now that I wake up from the dream, everything has disappeared.
The identity of the eldest lady of the Fang family is gone, her family is gone, and now she even has her only relative gone.
In this prosperous big city, she had nothing, not even a place to stay.
She didn't know where she was going next or what she was going to do.
The energy she had been holding on for so long seemed to suddenly dissipate at this moment. She could no longer control it, squatted down, covered her face and cried bitterly.
"Recruiting a younger brother..."
A familiar voice came cautiously from above.
Fang Xing raised his head and looked up with red eyes.
When she saw the face of the visitor clearly, her expression changed slightly. She stood up and wiped away the tears on her face in embarrassment, "Why are you here?"
The young man with a simple face looked at her, a little at a loss, "I...I heard that something happened at your family, so...I came to find you."
"What are you doing with me? To see my jokes?" Fang Xing stared at him, like a hedgehog with spikes, "You gave up going to college for me, but I didn't believe your words and abandoned you on the eve of marriage.
You must have hated me for running away with your biological parents, right? Now that you see me ending up in such a miserable end, you must be extremely happy!"
"No, no, no... I'm not happy! I... I don't hate you either!" The man waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning red with anxiety, "Brother Zhao, you know, I... I just want you to be well...
"
Fang Xing choked.
She has known him since she was a child and knows him well. He is such a simple and honest person who is a bit clumsy and will not lie.
She suddenly felt as helpless as if she had punched cotton. She was too lazy to waste any more time with him, so she turned around and left.
The man stood dumbly for a while, then after regaining consciousness, he cautiously caught up with him.
"Brother Zhao, where are you going?"
"You don't have to worry about it!"
"Brother Zhao, are you...are you okay now?"
"No, I'm not good at all!"
"Then why don't you go back to the countryside with me? I... I made some money and built a new two-story house in the village! You don't have to live with your annoying adoptive parents after you go back. I
